New Every Morning: A Reminder of God’s Unfailing Mercy

-

 "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness." — Lamentations 3:22-23

Some mornings, I wake up feeling weary before the day has even begun. The weight of yesterday’s struggles, the regrets, the unanswered prayers—they all seem to follow me into today. And yet, in the stillness of the morning, this truth rises with the sun: God’s mercies are new.

Every. Single. Day.

No matter how hard yesterday was, no matter how many times I stumbled, no matter how heavy my heart feels—God’s love remains steady. His mercies don’t run out. He doesn’t look at me and say, “That was your last chance.” Instead, He meets me in the morning with fresh grace, with an unshaken faithfulness that is bigger than my failures, my fears, and my worries.

What Does It Mean That His Mercies Are New?

Lamentations is a book of grief, written in the aftermath of Jerusalem’s destruction. The author, likely the prophet Jeremiah, was surrounded by devastation, sorrow, and hopelessness. And yet, in the middle of the pain, he declares this incredible truth: God’s love never ceases, and His mercies never end.

This isn’t just a poetic thought—it’s a promise.

  • New mercy means yesterday’s failures don’t define today.
  • New mercy means we are never beyond the reach of His grace.
  • New mercy means He doesn’t grow tired of us, even when we struggle.
  • New mercy means every sunrise is a fresh invitation to trust Him again.

Holding Onto His Faithfulness

Life can be overwhelming. There are days when hope feels distant, and joy seems out of reach. But even in the hardest moments, God is still faithful. His character doesn’t change with our circumstances. When we are weak, He remains strong. When we are unsure, He is steady. When we feel unworthy, He calls us His own.

So today, I am choosing to rest in this truth. I don’t have to carry yesterday’s burdens into today. I don’t have to fear that God’s patience with me will run out. His mercies are fresh, His love is unshaken, and His faithfulness is greater than anything I face.

And if you’re struggling today—if life feels messy or you feel like you’ve failed too many times—take a deep breath. God’s mercies are new for you, too. You don’t have to earn them. You don’t have to prove yourself worthy. You just have to receive them.

Because no matter what yesterday held, this morning is a new beginning. And God is already here, waiting for you with open arms.

A Prayer for Today

Lord, thank You for Your never-ending mercy. Some days, I feel like I’ve exhausted all my chances, like I’ve messed up too many times to come back to You. But You remind me that Your love never runs dry. Your faithfulness is bigger than my failures. Help me to rest in Your grace today, to start fresh, and to trust that You are always with me. Amen.

What’s something you need to release today, knowing that God’s mercies are new for you? Share in the comments—I’d love to pray for you. 💙

The Music Within Us

The Music Within Us Johann Sebastian Bach's life was marked by profound personal tragedy. He lost his young daughter, then three sons, and later his wife. Despite remarrying, he and his second wife, Anna Magdalena, endured the heartbreaking loss of four more daughters and three sons—11 beloved children in total. Many researchers have pondered how Bach managed to cope with such profound loss. How did his spirit not break, how did his heart keep beating, and most intriguingly, how did he continue to compose? Bach's resilience and creativity stemmed from his deep faith. At the beginning of each score, he inscribed 'Lord help me,' and at the end, 'Soli Deo Gloria' ('Glory to God Alone'). For Bach, music was a form of prayer, a sacred dialogue between man and God. Listening to Bach’s compositions invites you into this profound conversation, a testament to the enduring power of faith and music. In the ancient times of the Bible, the Levites held a unique and s...

Let Me Tell You About This Man I Love...

Sometimes, you just have to stop and recognize the amazing people in your life, and today, I want to take a minute to tell you about my husband. He is good to the core—fiercely loyal, endlessly kind, deeply loving, honest to a fault, effortlessly funny, incredibly driven, and insanely talented. Am I biased? Probably. But is it 100% true? Absolutely. And would anyone who really knows him agree? Without a doubt. He never stops thinking about his calling—always creating, learning, and discovering. I have no idea how he does it! I’ve often wished I had even half of his relentless drive—and his level of patience. Most nights, you can find him in his home office, creating click tracks, soundtrack videos, and discovering new music to bring to his ministry. We are opposites in many ways, yet so much alike in others—like most couples who balance each other out. I thrive on spontaneity, love changing things up, and admittedly have a quick temper. He, on the other hand, is calm, cool, and collect...

Promise Me...

A friend recently posed a thought-provoking question on Facebook: "If you woke up today knowing it would be your last day on earth, what would you do? Who would you spend your time with?" This question made me pause and reflect, as many of her posts do. She is incredibly kind, true to herself regardless of others' opinions, unafraid to try new things, and extremely intelligent and I admire her. Thanks friend. There is something I want everyone to know. I want my sons and their wives, my beautiful daughters-in-love to know. I want my future grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and all future generations to understand this without a shadow of a doubt. If you're reading this blog somewhere out there in the future, know that if there is one core message in this blog, this is it. Please, read this. All of you. Promise me that if you don't know God in this way, you will think about it deeply. If you are struggling because the church has treated you or someone you love po...
